- of the same so that a less number of tubes can be used in the construction of the burner.

A further object of the invention is to providemeans whereby the tubes can be welded to their headers so as to eliminate the threading of the tubes and headers.

This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appended claim.

In describing my invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which Figure 1 is an elevation of the complete device. I

Figure :2 is a plan view thereof.

Figure 3 is a section on line 33 of. Figure 1. I o i Figure 4 is a section on line HotFigure 2.

Figure 5 is a section on line 5-5 of Figure 4,

Figure 6 is a sectional detail view showing a tube welded to its header.

As shown in these views, the burner forming the subject matter of the before mentioned patent comprises amixing tube ,1 which has its ends connected with the headers 2 and 3, the burner tubes i which areconnected wit the header 3 and the two sets of tubes and application filed September burner tubes 4. Instead of threading the ends of the tubes into their headers, as illustrated in the before mentioned patent, I taper each end of each tube, as shown at 9 in Figure 6,

and make the opening in the header for re ceiving said end of flaring shape, as shown at 10 in. said Figure 6, and then the parts are welded together, as shownat 11. This will eliminate the threading of the tubes and headers and will enable the burner parts toibe more easily assembled. V

I also provide'a casing 12 for receiving the burner, this casing 7 having a perforated hinged cover 13 which is held in closed position by the latch 14. It is also provided with the strengthening webs 15 on its interior side walls and the bottom of the casing is provided with the holes 16 for admitting air into the casing, any ,oilcolle'cting on the bottom of the being prevented from escaping casing through said holes by the ribs 17 formed on the bottom around the holes. An opening 18 is formed in one side of the casing'adjacent its bottom so that the oil on the bottom of the casing can be ignited to start the burner, this oil escaping through the hole 19 formed in one I or both of the burner tubes. This casing will u retain the neat close to the burner so that the liquids in he tubes will more quickly vapor ize and said casing takes the place of the pan used in the before mentioned patent. By the use of this casing, some of the vaporizing tubes canxbe omitted, thus cheapening the cost of the burner. The flames from the burning mixture, escape through the perforated top or cover and heat the stove or other device with which the burner isused. By having the cover hinged to thecasing, access can be readily had to the burner parts for cleaning or repairing the same.

It is thought from the foregoing descrip tion that the advantages and novel features of my invention will be readily apparent.

I desire it to be understood thatI may make changes inthe construction and in the "combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claim. I

What I claim is I o In. comblnation with a burner for vaporiz In testimony whereof I affix my signature. JOHN ATKINSON HUNT.
